DS504-25 NFCC Framework for Respiratory Protective Equipment, associated equipment and services

Description

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service in conjunction with the National Fire Chiefs Council Respiratory Protective Equipment Group (NFCC RPE Group) and the NFCC Procurement Hub is leading a procurement project to replace the existing Framework for Respiratory Protective Equipment, associated equipment and services
The framework will enable Contracting Authorities named on the framework to procure Respiratory Protective Equipment, associated equipment and services.
The detailed requirements have been split into Lots which have been developed with the support of the NFCC RPE Group. 
Lot 1	Self-contained breathing apparatus, with ancillaries
Lot 2	Cylinders with ancillaries
Lot 3	Integrated Communications systems
Lot 4	Telemetry 
Lot 5	Maintenance services 
Lot 6	Provision of consumables, parts and spares 
Lot 7	Other respiratory protective equipment and services
The contract location will depend upon the call-off contracts awarded by the Contracting Authorities. 
The Framework will be a closed framework for a period of 4 years. Due to the stability of the market, there is an option to extend the Framework by up to two years providing that there have been no substantial changes in the supply market and that the Framework continues to meet the needs of the contracting authorities.
No maximum number of suppliers per lot has been applied.
Full details of the requirements are provided in the tender documents which will be available through the e-tendering portal.
